A Worcester buyer wrote in May 2026 that the listing agent had described the roof as relatively new and problem-free — and that Kelsy Soderlund climbed it anyway, found hidden roof defects and holes in the fascia, and changed the buyer's decision. That is the kind of account that recurs at Soderlund Inspections. The company is a one-inspector operation based in Worcester and run by Kelsy Soderlund, who says she bought her first investment property in 2014 and began inspecting in 2019, drawn to old houses after an early job as a house painter. She is an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector, and the site lists a Massachusetts inspector licence number, #1133, which we have not verified against the state registry. The work she takes on covers pre-purchase, pre-listing, multifamily, 11-month new-construction warranty and maintenance inspections, and the stated service area runs from Worcester out through Shrewsbury, Millbury, Grafton, Framingham, Boston and beyond. What clients describe most is depth followed by translation. A March 2026 buyer had her inspect two properties, said her walkthrough and report saved him from the first one, and noted she did extra research on the property's background afterward before he walked away. A July 2024 client described a report with detailed observations, high-quality photos and practical maintenance recommendations, and singled out her ability to explain complex issues in plain terms. In an April 2022 review, a buyer said she spent four hours on the house and delivered a 58-page report within a day and a half; another 2022 client hiring her for a poorly maintained older home said every problem area came with pictures and a write-up. The written history is short — Google carries a 5-star average across 11 ratings, running from 2022 to 2026, and one October 2024 customer opened his review by urging readers not to read the small number of reviews as a lack of quality. One of the accounts on file is not from a client at all: it comes from the founder of an inspector referral list, who says he has referred clients to her. If you are buying an older or poorly maintained house and want an inspector who will go on the roof and then sit with you to explain what she found, this is a strong fit. Confirm the fee, the turnaround and whether your property type is covered when you book.
With great appreciation, I wanted to reach out and express my sincere gratitude for the incredible job Kelsy Soderlund did inspecting the property in Worcester MA. I was already so grateful that you were able to accommodate my incredibly tight timeline on such short notice, but the thoroughness of your inspection absolutely blew me away. Going into this, the listing agent told my buyer’s agent that the roof was relatively new and completely free of issues. As a female inspector, your willingness to tackle that high roof and your sharp eye in uncovering the hidden roof defects and holes in the fascia completely changed the game. Thanks to your expertise, I was able to make a truly informed decision regarding the purchase instead of inheriting a massive, costly surprise. Your great effort with the inspection saved me from a potential financial nightmare. I will absolutely be recommending Soderlund Inspections to anyone who is looking to buy a home.
Kelsey was a fantastic professional to work with. She diligently inspected 2 different locations on my behalf and methodically explained her findings afterwards. Her walkthrough and report saved me from the first property I consulted her for which could only be described as a disaster. She even performed additional research afterward about the locations background that made me confident about my decision to walk away and to use her services for my next inspection. She is a great communicator, timely, and reliable. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Kelsey was awesome to work with. She explains everything so well. I appreciate her expertise and the way she makes complicated details simple to understand.
Absolutely outstanding experience with Kelsy! As a home inspector in the Worcester area, she brings a rare combination of professionalism, thoroughness, and approachability. Kelsey left no stone unturned—she explained everything clearly, answered all our questions with patience, and delivered a detailed report that gave us complete peace of mind. Her sharp eye for detail and honest assessments make her an invaluable part of any home-buying journey. Highly recommended!
I was totally impressed with the diligence that went into my inspection and the knowledge of the inspector. She encouraged questions and thoroughly answered each and every one of the numerous questions I asked. Truly a first rate inspection!
